#3086 — what does mean this?

In a script I have a statement:

$cartID = $cart->cartID = $cart->generate_cart_id();


can someone explain what does this mean?

Thanks!

It calls the function generate_cart_id() in the object $cart.

It takes the results of that function and places it in the cardID member 
of the object $cart.

It then takes the result and places it in the variable $cartID.

It is equivalent to:

$cart->cartID = $cart->generate_cart_id();
$cartID = $cart->cartID;

$cart is an object. Its method generate_cart_id() returns some value,
which is assigned to both the variable $cartID and the object property
$cart->cartID.

A more complex way to code this would be:

$result = $cart->generate_cart_id();
$cart->cartID = $result;
$cartID = $result;

What's ugly about this is that the same value is stored in an object
property and in a variable. Without knowing the context this doesn't
look good.

I would write this code as:

$cart->generate_cart_id();
$cartID = $cart->getCartId();

(where generate_cart_id() would also store a private class variable, 
$cardID, as part of the generation)
